“It would be foolish to regard small improvements with contempt when it is so rare to find any other kind.” (Ward Farnsworth, The Practising Stoic)
To be, or not to be, that is the question : whether 'tis Nobler in the minde to keep signing shýte and sacking headcoaches or to just fŭcketh Sormaz off. (William Shakespeare, possibly)
I'd be happy with small improvements. It's the claim that we've improved when we've actually gotten worse that I'm struggling with.
It also boggles my mind that anyone can claim performances have improved when we have lost even more than we did previously and also shipping goals for fun,
